Feathered out!

    I started quilting the feathers on the English Garden quilt a week ago....and now, I am feathered out.   It takes a lot of concentration and control when filling in specific areas.   All the open areas are filled, and it is on to the borders.  No feathers for them, just some meandering and a few swirls probably.  






    I used large plumes on this one, otherwise i would still be filling in.  I found I was having a challenge getting the corners filled in because of the zig-zag layout.  So in some places I did a lot of back-track stitching, and in others I added an extra plume and started off again.   In the grand scheme of things, those "funky" spots will never be noticed.





    When I needed a break, I turned to some doodles.  These  things are absolutely addictive for me.   Playing around with a few different shapes and those lines of Mctavishing designs for fill ins sent me off in a new direction for this batch.  
    I picked up a new batch of paint cards and found more gel pens at the dollar store this week......so I am set for break times.
    I need to clean and oil Hot Legs before I go any further with the stitching.  She has had a good workout.
Happy stitching.
